GerwinKJul 8, 2005I dont belive this is acually from TMBG. How they once made quirky, entertaining songs, Mink Car only showcases a crappy attempt to sanity. If thats how you could even call it.

Mar 16, 2013It's good, but there are many flaws in the album. The start of the album has some incredible songs, 'Bangs' and 'Another First Kiss' being my favourites, but there's just this sense of the whole album being underwhelming. Only really for hardcore fans I'd suggest.

Mink Car will please just about all but the most picky of They Might Be Giants fans. Diverse, off-beat, strange, fun, and decidedly wonderful, it proves that TMBG haven't really lost anything over the years...

They Might Be Giants are just a stitch more serious about being silly, and that extra earnestness makes all the difference.

BlenderAlmost a total wreck -- even decent melodies are hard to come by. [Aug/Sep 2001, p.130]
